She’s investigating a cold case no one else could—by going places no else would dare.
In spite of a harrowing past still haunting her, Gwen Proctor is trying to move forward. Until a new assignment gives her purpose: the cold-case disappearance of a young man in Tennessee. Three years missing, no clues. Just Ruth Landry, a tortured mother in limbo. Gwen understands what it’s like to worry about your children. Gwen’s investigation unearths new suspects…and victims. As she follows each sinister lead, the implications of the mystery grow more disturbing. Because the closer Gwen gets, the closer she is to a threat that looms back home. In a town that’s closed its ranks against Gwen; her partner, Sam; and her kids, there’s no bolder enemy than the Belldene family—paramilitary, criminal, powerful, and vengeful. As personal vendettas collide with Gwen’s investigation, she’s prepared to fight both battles. But is she prepared for the toll it could take on everyone she loves? (From the book blurb) My thoughts: Fans of Rachel Caine will be delighted with this book number four in the series of psychological thrillers about the Proctor family. In this instalment Gwen Proctor is dealing with another cold case, disappearance of a young man called Remy Landry three years ago. The narrative is split between four points of view- Gwen, Lanny, Connor and Sam, which gives the story more depth. The family faces outright hostility from the neighbours, while the case Gwen is investigating is putting her loved ones in the path of a dangerous criminal. As usual Rachel Caine's characterization is outstanding, while the story will keep you on the edge of your seat with never-ending twists and turns and spellbinding ending. Dark and intense, Bitter Falls won't disappoint the readers who have been following the Stillhouse Lake series as it is as well-written as the previous instalments. Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas&Mercer for the ARC provided in exchange for an honest opinion.
